Is ACADS p.Pro85= (c.255C>T) pathogenic?

ACADS p.Pro85= (c.255C>T) is classified Likely benign in ACADS (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2026-01-05). Ultra-rare (popmax 0.0289%, sas); Associated with short chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency.

What condition is associated with ACADS p.Pro85= (c.255C>T)?

ACADS p.Pro85= (c.255C>T) is associated with short chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (ClinVar).

How common is ACADS p.Pro85= (c.255C>T) in the general population?

ACADS p.Pro85= (c.255C>T) is ultra-rare (popmax 0.0289%, sas) (gnomAD).

How is Short chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency inherited?

Typically Autosomal recessive (Orphanet). A genetic counselor can assess individual risk for a family.

Rarity supports pathogenicity (ACMG PM2); frequency above a disease-specific BA1/BS1 threshold argues against it. A variant frequent in one ancestry group can be near-absent in others, so a single global figure can mislead.
